Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Guti Sweep Through the Two Rivers
readx;? Irgigi's seizure of power stimulated the power of the major families, and then the families began a struggle for the rule of Akkad. From then on, the Akkadian Empire www.biquge.info fell into a period of chaos (BC2230-2227), with four kings in three years, and the Akkadian Empire declined rapidly. The empire went from ruling Mesopotamia (including Silesia, Akkad, and Sumer) and Elamite in its heyday to ruling only Akkad.
Since then, Sumerian city-states have emerged one after another Sumerian city-states in the Sumerian region. Among them, the emerging Uruk Fourth Dynasty, founded by the Sumerians, dominated the Sumerian region. The Guti also regained their strength and actively expanded into the Akkadian region.
Dudu, reigned: 21 BC, 2227-2206 BC.
In 2227 BC, after 3 years of fighting, the above 4 kings were replaced, and the Tutu family finally established their rule over Akkad.
After that, Uruk and Akkadian faced off, and Ushpia in Ashur was still very weak and began to slowly accumulate strength. And the Fifth Dynasty of Kish did not have a bad relationship with Akkadian (Sargon was originally the king of Kish), and although Kish and Uruk were feuding, they could not kill each other at this time in the face of the Eastern Semites. So you can only help each other.
Shu Turul, reigned 15 years, 2206-2191 BC.
In 2206 BC, Tutu's son, Shu Tulul, succeeded to the throne of Akkad.
In 2191 BC, Akkadian was captured by the Guti. The Akkadian Empire falls. The era of the Sumerian-Akkadian confrontation is over.
After the defeat of the Akkadian Empire, the Gurti and Sumerians were restored, and the yellow race became the masters, while the white East Semites were wiped out, and most of them were wiped out or reduced to slavery. Only the region of Silesia remained in the hands of the Eastern Semites.
There are large numbers of Akkadians in both Mari and Ashur.
Because the living habits of the Maris are too similar to those of the Sumerians, the Akkadians living here have hardly been affected, and even the Akkadians have been absorbed into the Sumerian king's ministers, and even called the king of the state, which is equivalent to returning to the path of the system.
The Akkadian dynasty had a total of 11 kings, reigning for 180 years.

In 2222 BC, after three years of conquest, a tribe conquered the tribes of the Guti and formed a tribal confederation. The name of the leader of the tribe is not known. The Guti people have never established an effective kingship, so there is no so-called capital. Even after the alliance, it has been in the midst of fierce internal power struggles, which is reflected in the fact that the reign of its king has changed once every few years, indicating that its political situation is extremely unstable. Despite this, it still shows a strong stance to the outside world.

In 2191 BC, the Guti conquered Akkad. The Guti were originally mountain barbarians, and after the fall of the Akkadian dynasty, they did not establish a unified state in Mesopotamia. The rule over the Sumerian region was also very weak. The Sumerian states took advantage of the opportunity to revival, and some Sumerian city-states, such as Kish, remained relatively independent and prosperous. At that time, the Guti people were in a state of tribal warfare. After that, the Guti people began to dominate the valley of the two rivers.
